Native Amazonian tribes have used buriti oil for centuries as natural sun protection for their skin. One of the primary components attributed to buriti oil's sun protection capabilities is its high concentration of beta-carotene. However, while antioxidants like beta-carotene can help prevent UVA damage it is important to note that they won't safeguard the skin against skin-burning UVB rays. For this reason, it is important that you always apply a minimum SPF20 sun lotion at least 20 minutes before stepping out in the sun.

Use buriti oil as you would use argan oil. A few drops goes a long way. You may want to apply it directly to your skin or add it to your favourite SPF or moisturiser. Apply 2-3 drops to clean, slightly damp skin and gently massage into your face and neck using upward circular motions. Use it as the final step in your evening skincare routine for maximum anti-aging benefits.

It can be used by all skin types but is particularly suited for dry, mature and aging skin, eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions. The fact that buriti oil is so high in beta carotene and oleic acids is why it is one of the best face oils for aging skin. The oil's rich texture makes it especially beneficial for those seeking intensive moisture and anti-aging support.

For facial application, start with 2-3 times per week and adjust based on your skin's response. Due to its rich texture and high concentration of active compounds, a little goes a long way. For hair care, use as a weekly deep conditioning treatment or apply small amounts to hair ends 2-3 times per week. Those with very dry or mature skin may benefit from daily evening application.

If your hair has been damaged by bleach, sun exposure or excessive heat treatments applying a hair mask containing Buriti Oil to the lengths of the hair can give fatigued follicles a healthy shine. The oil's high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids helps repair damaged hair cuticles, reduce split ends, and restore natural elasticity to brittle, over-processed hair.

This oil is pressed from the wild harvested fruits to deliver one of the richest sources of beta-carotene known. In fact, it contains more beta-carotene than carrot oil. Rich in beta-carotene and fatty acids, our cold-pressed buriti oil revitalizes and hydrates naturally. This exceptional beta-carotene content gives Buriti oil superior antioxidant protection and natural sun protection properties compared to most other facial oils.

In addition, as Primegreen is a UEBT member we commit to ensure that the Açai oil is sourced ethically and doesn't trigger deforestation.

Buriti oil is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin due to its natural composition and anti-inflammatory properties. It is traditionally used to treat wounds, burns, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Always perform a patch test before first use.

Natural buriti oil SPF can boost the effectiveness of your daily sunscreen (but it will not replace your daily UV protection routine). For complete UV protection, use sunscreen with an appropriate SPF, wear protective clothes, and seek shade during peak sun hours. While Buriti oil provides some natural sun protection, it should be used as a complement to, not a replacement for, proper sunscreen.

Buriti oil is indeed often referred to as Amazon's age-defying secret due to its exceptional skincare benefits. The oil's high vitamin A content acts like a natural retinol, promoting cell turnover and collagen production. Its antioxidants protect against free radical damage, while essential fatty acids improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and age spots.

A few drops goes a long way. For facial use, 2-3 drops are sufficient to cover the entire face and neck. For hair treatment, use 1-2 teaspoons depending on hair length and thickness. Due to its rich, concentrated nature, start with less and add more if needed to avoid over-application and potential pore clogging.
